My work proceeds in three currents.

First, I create liturgical images and objects for various faiths
and denominations, striving to master the variety of styles and
symbols called for by diverse spiritual traditions, and trying to
harmonize my work to the architectural setting. I find myself
enriched by collaborating with clergy, laity and architects.

Second, I create abstract sculpture in which I try to probe
beneath the surface appearance of the world to find the dynamic
interplay of energies at the heart of matter, to bring the realm of
the invisible into sight, to create a sort of visual music.

Third, I create unique, original solar sculptures -
seasonal sundials and participatory sundials - that I hope can
momentarily draw us into an intensified relationship to the earth
and sky.

I try to inform the spiritual images with the precision of
the scientific images and to inform the scientific images with the
grace of the spiritual. And I try to bring a keen sense of abstract
clarity to them all.
